Thanks Edited July 23, 2012 by johnmcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You never update the $Time variable, so the comparison in the If statement will only work if you start it at exactly 14:52. You need to move the line $Test = @HOUR & ":" & @MIN inside the While loop so that it gets updated.

johnmcloud Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah, you have right, thanks Do you think is a good choise add a Sleep in the While...WEnd? I have see some people using it, someone not. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's always best to put a sleep in a While loop like this one, because the script is going to eat up you CPU cycles because it's always running. If you're using a GUI and GUIGetMsg it's not needed but for something like this, I would definitely put in at least a Sleep(100), you can even go lower. Play with it to see what works best for your script. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
